Nature Sculpture

For my project I decided to make a pumpkin out of orange and red leaves, I surrounded the leaves with ornamental grass from my backyard.  I sprinkled mulch on the leaves because when I first made it without the mulch the leaves blew away too easily so I figured mulch would help weigh them down.  I made a pumpkin because its fall time and I love fall and thanksgiving and every fall I go pumpkin patch picking so when I saw the orange leaves I knew I wanted to make a pumpkin!!

On the second day the pumpkin was still pretty well put together.  A few leaves had blown away and the grass around the leaves had moved a little but other then that the pumpkin looked pretty much the same.

On the third day many of the leaves had blown away, the grass had stayed in the same place, I was surprised that a majority of it was still there.
